His friend, Gaston Prevost, who has long been suspected of defrauding his employers, gets into financial difficulties and asks Marcel's aid. Marcel, in trying to assist his friend, is accused of being Gaston's accomplice and arrested, but is finally discharged from custody for lack of evidence against him. His father, however, refuses to allow him to remain at home until he has proven his innocence. Marcel obtains a position as helmsman on a hospital ship where he later meets Inez, the captain's daughter. Arriving on beard, Marcel learns that there are a number of lunatics on the ship, and, entering the iron cage in which they are confined, to help one of the madmen out of some difficulties, he is accidentally locked therein. The captain, not knowing that Marcel is on board, decides to sail without him. The crew become discontented on account of the food. The captain is suddenly taken ill and is forced to turn over the command of the ship to his daughter, Inez. The crew mutiny and desert. Inez hears Marcel's cries for help and goes to his assistance and releases him from his prison, but neglects to lock the cage, and the lunatics escape. Marcel is at the wheel when the lunatics attack him and he is forced below. He secures the distress signal rockets from the captain and climbs the mast to fire them, when the lunatics, seeing him at the top, chop it down and it falls into the water with him. A passing steamer, seeing the distress signal, comes to the rescue, and Marcel is picked up. The crew of the rescue ship arrive on board just in time to save the captain and his daughter, Inez, from the lunatics.
